Biographie de l'auteur-e

Elizabeth Groeneveld, McGill University

Elizabeth Groeneveld is Faculty Lecturer in Women’s Studies and Chair of the Women’s Studies Program at McGill University. She holds a PhD in Literary Studies from the University of Guelph. Her research uses feminist historiography to interrogate the stories that feminism tells about itself through a range of print and online media. Her research work on feminist media cultures appears in the Journal of Gender Studies and Canadian Review of American Studies, as well as the edited collections Not Drowning, But Waving and Modern Print Activism in the United States. Her book, which examines a cluster of publications emerging in the mid-1990s out of feminist zine culture, Making Public Cultures: Feminist Periodicals on the Cusp of the Digital Age, is under contract with Laurier University Press.
